    # Cheap gate that collapses the release double-run. `scripts/release.sh`
    # pushes `main` and the tag seconds apart, and the tag points at exactly
    # the HEAD commit that push delivers — so the branch run would verify the
    # identical tree the tag run verifies anyway (plus `publish`). When a push
    # to `main` is headed by a release commit (`:rocket: Release x.y.z`, the
    # single commit release.sh creates), the full CI is skipped here and the
    # tag run becomes the authoritative one for that SHA. All other pushes —
    # PRs, tags, ordinary `main` merges — see `skip=false` and run as before.
    #
    # Coupling: the pattern below MUST stay in sync with the release commit
    # message in `scripts/release.sh`. Failure mode if the tag push ever fails
    # after `main` accepted the release commit: no CI fires; fix by re-running
    # `git push --tags`.

Use `rg` for what the LSP cannot see — doc prose, string literals, config, task lists, file discovery — and reconcile the two sets before editing (symbols from the LSP, strings and prose from `rg`). It has no rename / code-action / apply-edit surface — the write side is pi's `edit` tool + `check:tsc`.

The server keeps running across that gate with a ~5 min idle timeout and registers no file watchers, so if you change `tsconfig.json` / `package.json` mid-session its diagnostics can be stale — when LSP output disagrees with `check:tsc`, trust `check:tsc` and restart pi (or wait out the idle timeout) before concluding the LSP is wrong.

 - type handler parameters by the matched member, so a
  standalone `"true"` universe is typed `"true"` rather than `true`

 - add `getTaggedUnionMatcher` / `getTaggedUnionMatcherW` for discriminated unions
 - rename the primitive matcher to primitive-union: `getMatcher` /
  `getMatcherW` → `getPrimitiveUnionMatcher` / `getPrimitiveUnionMatcherW`, and
  `src/primitive.ts` / `src/primitive.test.ts` → `src/primitive-union.*`
 ## [0.5.0] - 2026-09-21
 - reject a fallback when the handler map already covers the universe
 - allow boolean, null and undefined in the matcher universe
 ## [0.4.0] - 2026-09-20
 - move the `_` fallback out of handlers
 ## [0.3.0] - 2026-09-18
 - condensed primitive matcher factories down to 2 from formerly 4
 - house shared test helpers under `src/util/__tests__/`

 ## [0.1.7] - 2026-09-16
 - require a short summary under `[Unreleased]` in the changelog before a branch is finished
 - let `create:branch` start from a `main` that is ahead of its upstream, so a finished merge no longer blocks the next branch until it is pushed
 ## [0.1.6] - 2026-09-15
 - restructure the documentation: README.md for users, CONTRIBUTING.md for contributors, and development/ for the decisions, rejected alternatives and known issues

 itself. End-user documentation is in [README.md](./README.md). The reasons
 behind the rules here — the decisions, rejected alternatives, and known issues —
 live in [development/](./development/README.md). The machine entry point for AI
 coding agents is [AGENTS.md](./AGENTS.md); keep this file as the prose home for
 the rules so agents and humans don't diverge.
 ## Setup
 1. Clone the repository.
 2. Install Node.js >= 26 — see [.node-version](./.node-version); the exact pinned
   version is what CI and the runner image use.
 3. `npm ci`.
 4. `npm run setup` — the one-time clone configuration (currently registers the
   commit-message template).
 ## Development commands
 - **Build:** `npm run build`
 - **Test:** `npm run test`, `npm run test:ci`
 - **Watch:** `npm run watch` - re-runs tests on file save, humans only
 - **Checks:** `npm run check`, `npm run fix`
 - **Verify:** `npm run verify` — the definition of done
 - **Maintenance:** `npm run maintain` — advisory only
 - **Individual fixes:** `npm run fix:oxfmt`, `npm run fix:oxlint`

 things at different costs; the rule of thumb is "earlier tiers fire more often,
 faster tiers catch less, slower tiers are more thorough":

 Before pushing, run `npm run verify` — the one-shot correctness gate. Run
 `npm run maintain` only on a maintenance / update-deps branch. Why the splits
 are where they are: [development/workflow.md § Feedback tiers](./development/workflow.md#feedback-tiers).
 ## Testing discipline (type-driven)
 For this library the types _are_ the feature, so development is **type-driven**:
 the compile-time expectation is written before the runtime assertion, and both
 before the implementation. The loop is **type → red → green → refactor**:
 1. **Type** — write the compile-time expectation first
   (`expectTypeOf(...).toEqualTypeOf<…>()`) and let `npm run check:tsc` fail on
   the _type_. The type error is the spec you want to hit before the runtime
   logic exists.
 2. **Red** — add the matching runtime assertion (`assert.*`) so
   `npm run test:unit` now fails on behavior.
 3. **Green** — implement in `src/*.ts` until both the type check and the test
   pass.
 4. **Refactor** — with the type system and the tests as the safety net, then
   `npm run verify` as the definition-of-done gate.
 Every test pairs an `expectTypeOf(...)` with an `assert.*`; keep them together
 — including the expectations inside handler bodies, which pair with an
 assertion on the value dispatch passed, not only the type it inferred (see
 [development/testing.md § Handler arguments](./development/testing.md#handler-arguments)).
 The autocomplete tests (`src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.test.ts` for the
 helper, `src/primitive-union.test.ts` for the matcher's popup) are the
 exception —
 the language server, not the type system, is the oracle (see
 [development/testing.md § Autocomplete](./development/testing.md#autocomplete)).
 Each test body follows **AAA (Arrange–Act–Assert)** with labeled blocks
 separated by a blank line: `// Arrange` sets up the inputs (e.g. the matcher
 factory), `// Act` exercises the subject once from them (not a second
 throwaway call), `// Assert` holds every check — type expectations first,
 runtime assertions last; an empty block drops its label (see
 [development/testing.md § AAA ordering](./development/testing.md#aaa-ordering)).
 Type-first is enforced structurally: `npm test` runs `check:tsc` before the
 test runner, so a wrong type can never be papered over by a passing assertion.
 Per [AGENTS.md § Never do](./AGENTS.md#never-do), reach green honestly — fix the
 types, never suppress the checks you can't make pass. Full rationale:
 [development/testing.md](./development/testing.md).
 ## Code style and formatting
 `oxfmt` is the formatter and `oxlint` is the linter (with type-aware rules).
 `npm run fix` resolves the fixable issues; `npm run check` verifies without
 writing. Suppressions must be fixed at the root — do not add `oxlint-disable`
 directives or `as` casts to force a green run (see
 [AGENTS.md § Never do](./AGENTS.md#never-do)).
 Suggested VSCode extensions are in
 [.vscode/extensions.json](./.vscode/extensions.json); the project's formatter
 and linter are wired up there. Toolchain decisions:
 [development/tooling.md](./development/tooling.md).
 ## Commit messages
 Gitmoji subject, imperative mood, 50/72 wrapping. The template is
 [commit-message-template](./commit-message-template); `npm run setup`
 (or `npm run setup:git-commit-message`) registers it as git's
 `commit.template`. Examples and rationale:
 [development/workflow.md § Commit messages](./development/workflow.md#commit-messages).
 ## Script prefix convention
 Script names in `package.json` use a prefix that signals _when_ the script is
 intended to run. A `<prefix>:<name>` script is implicitly aggregated by a
 `<prefix>` script (if one exists) and run by the corresponding lefthook hook or
 CI step. Pick the prefix that matches the script's lifecycle:
 - `create:*` — front doors of the repo's own workflow; these mutate git state
  rather than the source. `create:branch` opens a unit of work, `create:finish`
  closes the branch half, `create:release` closes the release half
  (maintainer-only). No bare `create` aggregator on purpose.
 - `check:*` — read-only verification; never modifies files. Aggregated by
  `npm run check`.
 - `fix:*` — mutating counterpart of a `check:*` script. Aggregated by
  `npm run fix`; the diff is the review surface.
 - `test:*` — test scripts. `test` is the canonical entry point (`check:tsc` +
  unit tests); `test:unit` skips the typecheck for fast local iteration;
  `test:ci` adds c8 coverage.
 - `watch:*` — long-running watchers for the manual inner dev loop. Aggregated by
  `watch`.
 - `maintain:*` — advisory repo-maintenance scans: read-only, but whole-project
  and/or network-bound, so never a correctness gate. Aggregated by
  `npm run maintain`.
 - `publish:*` — validates the _publishable artifact_ (e.g. `dist/`) rather than
  the source, so it needs a fresh build.
 - `setup:*` — one-time configuration of a fresh clone; mutates the local
  environment rather than the repo source, so it is never part of a hook or CI
  step. Aggregated by `npm run setup`, run once after cloning.
 A new script must reuse an existing prefix. If none fits, that's a signal the
 script doesn't belong in the pipeline — not a reason to invent a new prefix. If
 it genuinely does belong, add the prefix to this list in the same commit as its
 first member; an undocumented prefix becomes invisible and quietly accrues
 members. Why `create:` exists, the rejected names, and the design of the bare
 scripts: [development/workflow.md § Script prefix convention](./development/workflow.md#script-prefix-convention).

+A new script should pick the prefix that matches its lifecycle, not invent a new one. If no existing prefix fits, that's a signal the script doesn't belong in the standard pipeline. When it genuinely does belong, a new prefix is allowed — but it enters both lists in this file in the same commit as its first member, otherwise the rule "reuse an existing prefix" silently develops an exception (the old `use:` prefix was exactly that; it is now retired into `setup:`).
-  (why:

-  [development/workflow.md](./development/workflow.md#changelog-notes))
+Separately, some top-level scripts are **bare** (no prefix): the entry points that either run a single tool (`build`, `clean`) or aggregate a `prefix:*` family (`check`, `fix`, `test`, `watch`, `maintain`, `setup`), plus one convenience that composes across tiers: `verify` — composing `check` + `test:unit` into one whole-project correctness gate (it deliberately uses `test:unit` rather than `test` because `check` already runs `check:tsc`, so the type checker runs exactly once). Bare commands are how you invoke a tier; the `prefix:*` scripts are what those tiers are made of.

 ### Why these splits?
 - **`watch:*` is a manual tier, not a hook.** The developer starts it on demand (it has to be killed with Ctrl-C) and it runs in a dedicated terminal pane. It sits as the earliest tier in the feedback ladder, catching failures the moment a file is saved — before staging, before commit.
 - **`check:tsc`, `check:oxlint`, `check:oxfmt`, `check:cspell`** are in pre-commit because they are fast (~0.2–0.5s each), fully offline, and naturally scope to staged files via the `LEFTHOOK_FILES` env var convention. They give instant feedback on what you typed.
 - **`test` (and the `tsc` it includes) is in pre-push** because it runs the whole test suite across the whole project. The pre-commit `LEFTHOOK_FILES` convention doesn't apply to the test runner, so pre-commit isn't the right home. Pre-push runs after all commits are made but before the push leaves the machine, catching regressions that span multiple commits.
 ### Before pushing
 Run `npm run verify` — the one-shot correctness gate in the table above. Run `npm run maintain` only on a maintenance / update-deps branch.
 ## Testing discipline (type-driven)
 For this library the types _are_ the feature — narrowing, `exhaustive()` returns, the `Matcher<T>` contract — so a runtime-only test loop would verify the wrong thing. New behavior follows **type-driven development** (in Edwin Brady's sense): _treat the type as the plan for a program, and use the compiler and type checker as your assistant, guiding you to a complete program that satisfies the type_ ([idris-lang.org](https://www.idris-lang.org/)). Here that plan is the `expectTypeOf` assertion, written first. The loop is **type → red → green → refactor**:
 1. **Type** — write the compile-time expectation first (`expectTypeOf(...).toEqualTypeOf<…>()`) and let `npm run check:tsc` fail on the _type_. The type error is the spec you want to hit before the runtime logic exists.
 2. **Red** — add the matching runtime assertion (`assert.*`) so `npm run test:unit` now fails on behavior.
 3. **Green** — implement in `src/*.ts` until both the type check and the test pass.
 4. **Refactor** — with the type system and the tests as the safety net, then `npm run verify` as the definition-of-done gate.
 This is why every test in the suite pairs an `expectTypeOf(...)` with an `assert.*` — keep them together. Type-first is also enforced structurally: `npm test` runs `check:tsc` before the test runner, so a wrong type can never be papered over by a passing assertion. Per [AGENTS.md § Never do](./AGENTS.md#never-do), reach green honestly — fix the types so both the type check and the runtime assertion pass, never suppress the ones you can't make pass.

It refuses, without changing anything, unless the working tree is clean (untracked files included), no merge/rebase/cherry-pick is in progress, `main` matches its upstream, and `npm run test` is green on `main` — so a later failure is always attributable to your edits.

  the task; the script validates it rather than guessing it.
 - **Merging:** `npm run create:finish` (on the branch). It re-asserts the same
  preconditions, merges `--no-ff`, runs `npm run verify`, and deletes the branch
  only after the merge is green. The push is left to `create:release`, so the
  merge stays local and reviewable.
 - CI runs on every push to `main` — see [Feedback tiers](#feedback-tiers) and
  [.gitea/workflows/ci.yml](./.gitea/workflows/ci.yml).
 - **Releases are NOT triggered by pushes.** Only the maintainer triggers a
  release; see [Publishing](#publishing).
-Full rationale, including the front-door decisions:
+## Publishing workflow
 [development/workflow.md § Branching model](./development/workflow.md#branching-model).
-## Submitting changes
+Publishing is CI-only by policy. Local `npm publish` is not supported. The maintainer triggers releases from `main`:
-There is no pull request workflow on Gitea yet, so a contribution is submitted
+1. All intended changes are merged to `main` and passing CI.
-as a branch that is merged locally:
+2. The maintainer runs `npm run create:release` — an interactive prompt suggests a version (based on the latest CHANGELOG entry); the maintainer confirms or edits it.
-
+3. `scripts/release.sh` creates a single release commit (changelog + package.json bump, amended into one commit), tags it, and pushes everything to Gitea.
-1. `npm run create:branch -- <prefix>/<desc>`.
+4. CI runs on the push (the `build` and `maintain` jobs); the `publish` job then fires on the tag, consuming the `dist/` artifact the `build` job produced. The job graph lives in [.gitea/workflows/ci.yml](./.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) — keep that file, not this list, as the source of truth. The publish-tier checks must pass before the artifact is published. The `publish` job also creates the Gitea release page from the matching Keep-a-Changelog section (`scripts/release-notes.sh`); it runs _before_ `npm publish` so a broken page fails CI without consuming a version, and `npm publish` stays the last step.
 2. Commit your work (one or more commits, per the tests and style rules above).
 3. `npm run verify` — the definition of done.
 4. Add a changelog note under `[Unreleased]` (see
   [Rules the tools don't enforce](#rules-the-tools-dont-enforce)).
 5. `npm run create:finish` to merge the branch into `main` and verify the
   result.
 6. Present a handover for review. Once there are no further objections, the
   maintainer pushes.
 When the project is promoted to GitHub, this step becomes a normal pull request
 against `main`.

+What each tier runs, when it fires and what it costs:
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Feedback tiers](./CONTRIBUTING.md#feedback-tiers). How the
 `prefix:` in a script name is chosen:
 [§ Script prefix convention](./CONTRIBUTING.md#script-prefix-convention).
- **Node.js >= 26** (`engines` field; pinned via `.node-version`).
+### Tooling
 - **TypeScript >= 5.0** to consume the published declarations. The emitted `.d.ts`
  use `const` type parameters (TS 5.0) and keep their relative `.ts` specifiers;
  both resolve on TS >= 5.0 in `node10` / `node16` / `nodenext` / `bundler`.
 - The package is **ESM-only** (no CommonJS shim).
-## API
+- **TypeScript 7** — type checker and build (`tsc`).
 - **node --test** + `--strip-types` — test runner.
 - **c8** — code coverage for `test:ci`.
 - **oxlint** — Rust-based linter, with type-aware rules powered by **oxlint-tsgolint** (typescript-go).
 - **oxfmt** — Rust-based formatter (Prettier-compatible). Formats JS/TS, JSON/JSONC, YAML, Markdown, MDX, and more; built-in `package.json` key sorting replaces `sort-package-json`.
 - **cspell** — spell checking.
 - **knip** — finds unused dependencies, exports, and files.
 - **check-outdated** — reports dependencies behind the registry; it exits non-zero whenever _any_ dependency is outdated.
 - **publint** — validates `package.json` for ESM publishing correctness.
 - **@arethetypeswrong/cli** (`attw`) — validates `.d.ts` declarations against multiple module-resolution scenarios.
 - **lefthook** — git hooks.
 - **@spences10/pi-lsp** — read-only LSP code intelligence for AI coding agents (project-local `.pi/settings.json`). Talks to this repo's TypeScript 7 via `tsc --lsp --stdio`.
-Yet to be implemented
+Each tool's configuration trade-off is recorded in [Tooling decisions](#tooling-decisions); when it runs is in [CONTRIBUTING.md § Feedback tiers](./CONTRIBUTING.md#feedback-tiers).
-## Caveats
+### Tooling decisions
- **Only finite universes are supported.** The factory must be given a finite
+The choice and configuration of each tool above is the result of deliberate trade-offs, not defaults. The non-obvious ones:
  union of literals; `string`, `number` and template literals are rejected. This
  is what lets the exhaustive overload be proven, so the runtime `dispatch`
  throw stays unreachable through the typed API.
 - **A value and its stringification must not both be present.** Object keys
  stringify, so a universe containing both a member and the string it
  stringifies to — `1 | "1"`, `true | "true"`, `null | "null"` — is rejected at
  the factory. Either form alone is fine, and one value's string form may
  coexist with a _different_ value's bare form (`"true" | false`).
 - **`symbol` and `bigint` are not supported.** A `symbol` brand is a
  compile-time phantom with nothing to match at runtime, and a `bigint` is not a
  valid property key; neither satisfies the matcher's universe constraint.
 - **`NaN` and `-0` cannot be matched specifically.** They have no literal type,
  so both stay part of `number`.
-## License
+- **`tsconfig.json` extends `@tsconfig/strictest` + `@tsconfig/node26`**; `tsconfig.build.json` extends it to add the emit-only options (`declaration`, `sourceMap`, `inlineSources`, `outDir`, `target: es2024`, `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions: true`) and to exclude test files. `inlineSources` embeds the original TypeScript in `dist/*.js.map`, so debuggers can map into `src/` without it being shipped; `declarationMap` is intentionally off because a `.d.ts.map` cannot embed source and would dangle. This separation lets the editor and CI type-check from one config while the build emits from the other.
 - **`npm run build` first runs a `prebuild` hook that empties `dist/`.** `tsc` does not prune orphaned emit output — dropping `declarationMap`, for example, left stale `*.d.ts.map` files behind — so the build must start from an empty `dist/` to be reproducible. `prebuild` removes only `dist`; the manual `clean` still resets `dist` + `coverage`, so a local coverage report survives a build.
 - **Source imports use `.ts` extensions** so `node --strip-types` resolves them at test time. `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions: true` in `tsconfig.build.json` rewrites them to `.js` in the emitted JavaScript; the emitted `.d.ts` keep the `.ts` specifier, which TypeScript >= 5.0 resolves (see [Requirements](#requirements)), so no post-processing step is needed.
 - **Type-aware oxlint is enabled declaratively** via `options.typeAware: true` in `.oxlintrc.json` (powered by `oxlint-tsgolint`). The script commands stay clean — no CLI flag — and type-aware mode is a property of the config, not the invocation.
 - **Source-level `oxlint-disable` directives** are used for known type-aware false positives (see `src/pattern.ts`, `src/match.ts`, `src/index.test.ts`). The disable lives next to the code it silences, not in `.oxlintrc.json`, so the trade-off is visible to anyone reading the source.
 - **`knip --include dependencies,exports,files`** intentionally omits the `types` category, which produces systematic false positives for libraries whose exported types are part of the public API. The targeted scope keeps the signal high without config-file boilerplate.
 - **`attw --profile esm-only`** is semantically correct: this package is intentionally ESM-only (no CommonJS shim), so CJS resolution scenarios are out of scope by design, not a bug.
 - **`check:tsc` runs first** in the `npm run check` chain so a type error short-circuits the rest (faster feedback than letting oxlint/oxfmt run and then failing on tsc at the end).
 - **The pre-commit hook sets the `LEFTHOOK_FILES` env var** to the staged-files list, and the affected scripts use `${LEFTHOOK_FILES:-<default>}` to default to the whole project when invoked manually. This keeps `package.json#scripts` as the single source of truth for the underlying commands — `lefthook.yml` only describes _what to run on which files_.
 - **`tslib` and `type-fest` are deliberately not used.** `tslib` is a runtime helper for old ES3/ES5 targets (the project targets ES2024); `type-fest` was never imported. knip caught both.
 - **`@spences10/pi-lsp` is pinned to `0.0.46` and is read-only by design.** The package inspects `node_modules/typescript`, sees major ≥ 7 with no `lib/tsserver.js` (true of the `typescript-go` / `tsgo` port), and spawns the repo's own `tsc --lsp --stdio` binary — no `typescript-language-server` dependency is required. Earlier releases (`≤ 0.0.10`) hard-wire to `typescript-language-server --stdio` and are TS6-only. The tool is _intermediate_ agent feedback (hover, references, definition, symbols, diagnostics); it has no rename / code-action / apply-edit surface, and never a correctness gate — `npm run check` / `verify` remain that. `.pi/settings.json` is the shared, committed declaration; `.pi/npm/` is a gitignored install cache that pi recreates automatically on a trusted startup (it runs `npm install` for any missing project package), so the cache is deliberately not tracked.

 # Development documentation
 Why this project works the way it does: the decisions, what was rejected, and
 the shortcomings and known issues we carry. Written for maintainers and
 contributors.
 The actionable rules — setup, running, testing, submitting — live in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md). **Each fact is written once**: the rule
 there, the reason here; neither restates the other, and where a fact is useful
 in both they link. Read the relevant file before changing an area, and when a
 rule changes update its rationale here in the same commit.
 User-facing documentation is [README.md](../README.md). `docs/` is deliberately
 unused: that name is reserved for the future user documentation site, and
 deploying it is out of scope. These files are not part of that site.
 ## Layout
 One file per category:
 | File                             | Covers                                                                  |

 | [tooling.md](./tooling.md)       | Toolchain choices and configuration, editor setup                       |
 | [testing.md](./testing.md)       | Test strategy and type-driven development                               |
 | [ci.md](./ci.md)                 | CI pipeline, runner image, coverage serving                             |
 | [publishing.md](./publishing.md) | Release and npm publishing                                              |
 We start with one file per category so each area stays small enough to hold in
 mind; a category that outgrows it becomes a folder with an index, and the links
 in CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md point at the category, not a single decision.
 ## Decision blocks
 Record every non-obvious choice as a block in the relevant category file:
 ```md
 ## Runner image
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Bake Node into the CI job image at the setup-node tool-cache layout instead
 of downloading per job.
 #### Why
 - ...
 #### Rejected
 - Gitea Pages / per-job download
 - force-pull
 #### Known issue
 - a Dockerfile-only change re-pushed under an unchanged tag is invisible to the runner
    - recover with `docker rmi <image>`
 ```
 - The date is the month the decision was made, not when the file was edited —
  the anchor for "current" versus "was current once".
 - `Rejected` stops the project re-litigating the same alternatives; an empty one
  usually means they were never written down.
 - `Known issue` is where shortcomings live. A caveat not tied to one decision
  goes under a `## Known issues` section at the end of the file.
 - Replace a superseded decision in place rather than archiving it; git history
  is the archive.
 - Terse is the point: humans skim and agents imitate the style already in the
  file, so verbosity compounds edit over edit. Grammar loses to density here on
  purpose.
 ## Adding to these docs
 1. Pick the category: `library`, `workflow`, `tooling`, `testing`, `ci`,
   `publishing`.
 2. Add or update a decision block; keep existing text unless the decision
   changed.
 3. If an actionable rule changes, update
   [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md) in the same commit and cross-link.
   Never change a rule there without updating its rationale here.

 # CI
 [.gitea/workflows/ci.yml](../.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) is the source of truth for
 the job graph; this file records why it is shaped the way it is.
 ## Pipeline
 - **`build`** (push to `main` / tag) — build + correctness + packaging.
 - **`maintain`** (push to `main`, non-blocking) — `npm run maintain`; reports,
  never fails the build.
 - **`publish`** (tag) — packaging checks + `publish:publint` / `publish:attw`,
  then the Gitea release page and `npm publish` (see
  [publishing.md](./publishing.md)).
 - **`release-gate`** — on a `:rocket: Release x.y.z` commit it skips
  `build`/`maintain`, because `create:release` pushes the tag for the same commit
  right after and the tag run is authoritative. It uses no Node and stays on the
  default image.
 ## Runner image
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `build` / `maintain` / `publish` run in `gitea.e1nsnull.de/tmu/act-ci:<version>`
 ([docker/Dockerfile](../docker/Dockerfile)): the default act image with Node
 overlaid at the exact `/opt/hostedtoolcache` layout `actions/setup-node` probes.
 #### Why
 - No job pays the ~50 MB Node fetch, because the probe hits the baked entry.
 - The tag must equal the exact [.node-version](../.node-version) pin, and the
  image is rebuilt only as part of a Node bump — there is no other trigger.
 - Building needs a docker daemon and registry credentials, so it belongs to no
  feedback tier. That is why it is **not** an `npm run` script: no
  [prefix](./workflow.md#script-prefix-convention) fits, and that is the signal.
 #### Rejected
 - Downloading Node in every job — the ~50 MB fetch was the original problem.
 - Caching Proxy (Squid or similar) — adds complexity to global setup
 - Mounting the tool cache - No invalidation will fill the cache with stale versions
 ## Bumping Node
 Bumping Node is one coordinated change, committed as a unit:
 1. Edit [.node-version](../.node-version) to the exact `x.y.z` — floats like `26`
   resolve to the latest patch at runtime and bust the baked entry, so
   [scripts/runner-image.sh](../scripts/runner-image.sh) refuses them.
 2. `docker login gitea.e1nsnull.de` (user + package/access token), then
   `./scripts/runner-image.sh --push`, which reads the version and pushes
   `<IMAGE_REPO>:<version>`.
 3. Repoint the three `container.image` tags in
   [.gitea/workflows/ci.yml](../.gitea/workflows/ci.yml) to that version.
 Skipping step 2 fails CI at image pull; skipping step 3 silently reverts to the
 per-job download.
 ## Image invariants
 For the `setup-node` probe to hit, two things must hold — both easy to break:
 ### The `x64.complete` marker
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Bake a `<version>/<arch>.complete` marker next to the Node directory.
 #### Why
 - `actions/tool-cache` accepts a cached tool only when
  `<version>/<arch>.complete` exists beside it (`tc.find()` checks). A bare
  `node/<version>/x64/` is ignored and the download happens anyway. See the
  comment in [docker/Dockerfile](../docker/Dockerfile).
 ### Tag freshness, with force-pull deliberately off
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Leave `act_runner`'s `force_pull` disabled.
 #### Why
 - The tag encodes only the Node version, and the image is rebuilt only when that
  changes — so the normal flow always yields a new tag and the runner pulls it.
 - Forcing a pull re-pulls the image on every job for no benefit.
 #### Rejected
 - Enabling `force_pull`: it is acceptable to miss a runner-side image change,
  and a `Dockerfile`-only change is not worth a per-job pull.
 #### Known issue
 - A `Dockerfile`-only change (like the marker above) re-pushed under an
  unchanged tag is invisible to the runner, which keeps the old image while the
  registry shows the new digest. Remove the stale tag on the runner host
  (`docker rmi gitea.e1nsnull.de/tmu/act-ci:<version>`); do not reach for
  force-pull.
 ## Coverage serving
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Serve CI coverage from a shared directory on the runner, with no deploy step in
 CI.
 #### Why
 - The webserver exposes the shared directory and the Gitea docker setup reuses
  the existing reverse proxy — no upload artifact, no external service.
 - Coverage is written to a shared volume keyed by project and tag (for example
  `/docs/tiny-pattern-ts/<tag>/`).
 #### Rejected
 - Gitea Pages and Codecov: neither was confirmed available or wanted.
 #### Known issue
 - Coverage is served for tag pushes only; non-tag pushes (for example
  `main/coverage`) are tracked separately.
 [scripts/precompress.ts](../scripts/precompress.ts) emits `.br` / `.gz` / `.zst`
 sidecars next to text assets. The Gitea pages service (`static-web-server` with
 `SERVER_COMPRESSION_STATIC=true`) serves the sidecar matching `Accept-Encoding`
 and falls back to the original.
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Precompress into sidecars rather than per request.
 #### Why
 - The assets are static and change only on deploy, so the work is paid once.
 - Images, fonts and archives are already compressed; a sidecar would only grow
  them, so only text extensions are emitted.

 # Library design
 The type-level design of the public API and the limitations it carries. The
 user-facing reference is [README § API](../README.md#api).
 The matchers are implemented in `src/primitive-union.ts` (`getPrimitiveUnionMatcher` /
 `getPrimitiveUnionMatcherW`) and `src/tagged-union.ts` (`getTaggedUnionMatcher` /
 `getTaggedUnionMatcherW`), re-exported from `src/index.ts`; the rest of the
 library is placeholder code.
 ## Matcher shape
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 A factory takes the universe and returns a builder; the builder takes a handler
 map and an optional fallback:
 ```ts
 const matcher = getPrimitiveUnionMatcher<"a" | "b">()({ a: (s) => …, b: (s) => … });
 const fallback = getPrimitiveUnionMatcher<"a" | "b" | "c">()({ a: (s) => … }, (s) => …);
 ```
 Exhaustive or fallback is decided **at the call site**, by whether the second
 argument is present. The fallback's parameter is the remainder
 `Exclude<T, keyof Handled>`. Only the return-strictness axis remains, so there
 are two factories:
 - `getPrimitiveUnionMatcher` — one common `R`; the fallback must fit it;
 - `getPrimitiveUnionMatcherW` — the union `PatternReturns<Handled> | R`.
 Each factory is two overloads whose order is load-bearing:
 1. `Handlers<T, R>` — the exhaustive form, and the contextual type of the
   handler-map popup;
 2. `Handled extends Exact<Partial<Handlers<T, R>>, Handled>` intersected with
   `MustBePartial<T, Handled>`, plus `Fallback<T, Handled, R>` — a partial
   handler map plus the fallback, rejected when the map already covers `T`.
 #### Why
 - **The fallback is an argument, not a property.** TypeScript fixes a property's
  contextual type before it infers its sibling keys, so `_: (s) => …` in the
  handler map can only see all of `T`, never `Exclude<T, keyof Handled>`. A later
  argument is contextually typed from inference on an earlier one, so the split
  is what makes the remainder expressible.
 - **The redundant-fallback guard is an F-bounded constraint.** A map that
  already covers `T` plus a fallback is rejected by folding
  `MustBePartial<T, Handled>` into `Handled`'s own constraint. The guard is
  checked _after_ `Handled` is inferred, so the contextual pass that types the
  handler callbacks survives. The obvious conditional
  `Exclude<T, keyof Handled> extends never ? …` in the fallback's parameter
  type is evaluated while `Handled` is still its constraint and rejects every
  partial map whose callbacks are context-sensitive.
 - **Overload order keeps both messages.** #1 supplies the contextual type
  (`a, b, c`); #2 accepts a partial map once a fallback is present, so its popup
  is optional (`a?, b?, c?`). A gap without a fallback is reported against #1.
 - **`R` needs an inference site.** `R` inside the `Exact<…>` constraint is not
  one, so `handlers: Handled & Partial<Handlers<T, R>>` re-adds it; without that
  `R` collapses to `unknown` when the handler params are inferred.
 - **`Exact` restores the excess-property check.** TypeScript skips it for a
  generic constraint, so without `Exact` the handler map accepts keys outside
  `T`.
 - Two factories, not four: the fallback is an argument, not a separate API.
 #### Rejected
 - **Single-object `_`** (the former shape). `_` sees only all of `T`; the
  remainder is not expressible there, and an exhaustive map plus `_` was
  accepted.
 - **Curried handlers-first** — `(handlers)(fallback)`. Rejected: two calls for
  the common case. It is not needed for the redundant-fallback guard, which the
  F-bounded constraint already provides (see Why).
 - **`this` / HKT self-reference.** `this` is post-construction (method bodies,
  return positions); a parameter's contextual type is pre-construction.
  `keyof this` in an interface method is the interface, not the literal.
 - **Variance / `const` type parameters / `NoInfer` / `unique symbol` brands /
  defaulted type-param guards.** None change inference or evaluation order;
  `in`/`out` on the handler map broke contextual typing outright. `NoInfer`
  specifically leaks into the emitted `.d.ts`, raising the consumer floor to
  TypeScript 5.4 (README promises `>= 5.0`).
 - **Union merge**, **overload merge with only the exhaustive arm last**,
  **inferred universe**, **conditional `RequireKeys`**, **cases-first curried** —
  decided against while the API was single-object; their reasons (reported
  near-miss member, no `_` in the exhaustive popup, `NoInfer`/floor, `keyof P`
  counts optional keys, not pipe-friendly) hold where they still apply.
 #### Known issue
 - `PatternReturns` must be
  `ReturnType<Extract<ValueOf<P>, (...args: never[]) => unknown>>` so it survives
  the closed, partly-optional `P` constraints.
 - `Parameters<typeof factory>[0]` resolves only the **last** overload, so it is
  not a sound "rejected" oracle for a factory. Factory-negative tests use
  `@ts-expect-error` call sites (the test file only — the general ban stands).
 ## Shared internals
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `src/matcher-shared.ts` holds the universe-agnostic pieces both matchers use:
 `UnaryFn`, `PatternReturns`, `RedundantFallback`, `HandlerMap`, the shared
 `Matchable` universe, the `PatternKey` key projection and its `Member` inverse,
 and the `Stringified` / `Collisions` / `UnsupportedReason` / `UnsupportedUniverse`
 / `UniverseGate` universe gate.
 #### Why
 - `RedundantFallback`'s property name is the diagnostic, so one definition
  keeps the two matchers' message from drifting; the other pieces appear
  verbatim in both public signatures or are the same projection over each
  matcher's universe.
 - **`Matchable` is one definition, not two.** The primitive-union matcher's
  universe and the tagged-union matcher's allowed `Tag` values are the same set,
  so aliasing them keeps the two matchers from drifting apart on what they
  accept (`symbol`/`bigint` rejected once).
 #### Rejected
 - **A generic `Matcher<Universe>` over the interface pair, `Handlers`,
  `Fallback` and `MustBePartial`.** Each is built from its own universe
  (`Tags`/`MapTaggedUnion` vs the primitive values); abstracting over the
  F-bounded `Handled` constraint that makes the remainder work risks the
  contextual typing it exists to preserve. `Matchable`, the `PatternKey` /
  `Member` projection and the `UniverseGate` are the pieces both universes
  genuinely share.
 ## Supported universes
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 A universe must be a **finite union of literals** with **no
 value/stringification collision**. Broad types (`string`, `number`, a template
 literal) and `"true" | true` / `1 | "1"` are rejected; the factory intersects
 `UniverseGate<T>` (the `UnsupportedUniverse<Reason>` diagnostic) into the
 handler and fallback parameters. `Member<T, K>` replaces the `PatternParam<K>`
 inversion: the handler parameter is the member(s) of `T` whose `PatternKey` is
 `K`, so a standalone `"true"` is `"true"`, not `true`.
 #### Why
 - **`PatternKey` is not injective.** `"true"` and `true` (and `1` / `"1"`)
  share a runtime key, so `PatternParam<K>` cannot recover the member.
  `Member<T, K>` inverts against `T`, which is exact.
 - **Broad types cannot be proven exhaustive.** An index-like map lets a partial
  object satisfy the exhaustive overload and reaches the `dispatch` throw.
  Rejecting at the boundary avoids threading an open/closed branch through
  `Handlers`, `Fallback` and `MustBePartial`.
 - **Collisions are rejected, not merged.** `Member<T, K>` would be sound (the
  handler gets the union), but the API is one handler per member; rejecting
  keeps `Member` a singleton and the remainder exact.
 - **The collision predicate is type-checkable.** `Collisions<T> =
 Extract<T, Stringified<T>>` catches numeric collisions too.
 - **The gate is an intersection, not a branch,** so `R` inference and the popup
  survive; a conditional parameter type would not.
 #### Rejected
 - **Open universes with a required fallback** (`fix/open-universe-*`): sound,
  but left the collision hole and added an `IsLiteral` /
  `OpenUniverseNeedsFallback` branch through every handler type. Findings, kept
  so they are not re-run: `{}` satisfies an index signature (and `Exact` misses
  it); an index signature dominates contextual typing; `R` infers only from a
  non-self-referential parameter type (`{ [K in keyof H]: … R … }` gives
  `unknown`); an F-bounded guard referencing `keyof Handled` in `Handled`'s own
  constraint sees the constraint, not the map; all handlers share one `R` (only
  the fallback widens it); `IsLiteral` is the finite-literal predicate.
 - **`Member<T, K>` without the gate:** sound, but a colliding handler gets a
  union and `1 | "1"` stays one runtime key.
 - **A round-trip injectivity gate** (`IsEqual<T, PatternParam<PatternKey<T>>>`):
  over-rejects standalone `"true"` / `"false"` / `"null"` / `"undefined"`.
 - **A case-list / ts-pattern builder:** removes the collision class but drops
  the object map (footprint, popup) and reimplements an existing library.
 - **Normalize numeric keys to strings:** makes `PatternKey` injective but
  changes "numeric keys stay numbers" and defeats the numeric dispatch fast
  path.
 #### Known issue
 - A multi-collision universe lists every collision in the diagnostic.
 - The `dispatch` throw is unreachable through the typed API; the throw tests
  widen the factory to `Function` to reach it.
 ## Tagged-union matcher
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `getTaggedUnionMatcher` / `getTaggedUnionMatcherW` mirror the primitive-union pair
 with one extra curried step for the discriminant key:
 ```ts
 type Shape =
    | { kind: "circle"; radius: number }
    | { kind: "square"; side: number };
 const area = getTaggedUnionMatcher<Shape>()("kind")({
    circle: (s) => Math.PI * s.radius ** 2,
    square: (s) => s.side ** 2,
 });
 const fallback = getTaggedUnionMatcher<Shape>()("kind")(
    { circle: (s) => … },
    (s) => …, // s: { kind: "square"; side: number }
 );
 ```
 The key is a separate call because `K` is inferred from its literal argument and
 `T` is fixed by the first factory; one call could not infer both.
 `Discriminated<T>` restricts the key to properties whose values are tags.
 #### Why
 - **Same fallback/remainder machinery as the primitive-union matcher.** `HandledMembers`
  maps the handled tags to their members and `Exclude<T, …>` is the fallback's
  parameter; the redundant-fallback guard is the same F-bounded constraint. Only
  the "universe" changes — `T`'s members instead of primitive values.
 - **`T extends object`, not `Record<PropertyKey, unknown>`.** An `interface` has
  no implicit index signature, so the `Record` constraint would reject
  interface-based unions. The runtime reads the tag off `object` with one
  assertion, the tagged twin of the primitive-union dispatch's `shape as string | number`.
 - **`MapTaggedUnion` distributes with `Extract`.** A duplicated tag yields a
  union of members instead of dropping one.
 - **A `boolean` / `null` / `undefined` tag goes through the shared
  `PatternKey` / `Member` projection.** `Discriminated` admits those tags
  (they are in `Tag`), but they cannot key a mapped type, so the handler map is
  keyed by the stringified form (`true` → `"true"`) and `Member` inverts it
  against the tag set to recover the member. This is the same projection the
  primitive-union matcher uses over its universe, which is why it lives in
  `matcher-shared.ts`.
 #### Known issue
 - A member's tag must be unique across the union; two members with the same tag
  collapse to a union under one handler. A tag colliding with its
  stringification (`true | "true"`) is rejected by the universe gate — see
  § Supported universes.
 ## Primitive universe
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 The universe (`Matchable`) is `string | number | boolean | null | undefined`,
 with `boolean` admitted as `true | false`.
 `boolean`/`null`/`undefined` are not property keys, so handler-map keys are a
 projection (`PatternKey`: each member stringified) and `Member` inverts it
 against the universe, so callbacks receive the real member (`true`, not
 `"true"`; the standalone string `"true"` stays `"true"`). The popup offers
 `true`, `false`, `null`, `undefined` by name (verified over LSP). The same
 projection is shared with the tagged-union matcher; see § Tagged-union matcher.
 The supported universes are constrained as described in § Supported universes.
 #### Why
 - Runtime dispatch indexes with the raw `shape`; `handlers[true]` coerces to
  `"true"` at runtime exactly as `String` would. The `shape as string | number`
  assertion only placates `TS2538` and buys the number fast path (an explicit
  `String()` defeats V8's numeric-key path: measured ~2× on number-keyed
  dispatch).
 - `symbol`/`bigint`/`NaN`/`-0` are rejected, and a member colliding with its
  stringification is rejected by the gate: user-facing, stated once in
  [README § Caveats](../README.md#caveats).

 # Publishing
 Publishing is CI-only: local `npm publish` is not supported, and the maintainer
 triggers releases from `main`. The mechanics are in
 [scripts/release.sh](../scripts/release.sh) and
 [scripts/release-notes.sh](../scripts/release-notes.sh); the job graph is
 [.gitea/workflows/ci.yml](../.gitea/workflows/ci.yml).
 ## Release steps
 1. All intended changes are merged to `main` and passing CI.
 2. The maintainer runs `npm run create:release`. VS Code opens
   [CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md) to finalize the `[Unreleased]` notes; because
   pubv refuses a dirty tree, the edit is committed first (then folded into the
   release commit), and pubv suggests a version from those notes to confirm or
   edit.
 3. `scripts/release.sh` creates one release commit (graduated changelog +
   `package.json` bump, amended together), tags it, and pushes.
 4. CI fires on both pushes. `publish` runs on the tag (build + publish checks +
   release page + `npm publish`), while `release-gate` recognizes the release
   commit and skips `build`/`maintain`: the tag verifies the identical SHA, so no
   work is duplicated. The publish checks pass before the artifact is published,
   and the release page is created from the matching Keep-a-Changelog section
   _before_ `npm publish`, so a broken page fails CI without consuming a version
   and `npm publish` stays the last step.
 ## CI-only publishing
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Releases are cut by CI from `main`; there is no local `npm publish` and no
 `publish:*` script in the `check` chain.
 #### Why
 - The tag is the artifact marker: CI verifies the exact commit it points at, so
  a local publish could ship something the tag does not describe.
 - `publish:publint` / `publish:attw` validate the _publishable artifact_, which
  needs a fresh build; they are not source-correctness checks and do not belong
  in `check`.
 ## The release commit is assembled from two tools
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `create:release` uses `pubv` for the changelog graduation and bump heuristic,
 then `npm version` for the `package.json` + lockfile bump, amended into a single
 release commit.
 #### Why
 - We want hand-written Keep-a-Changelog notes, an `[Unreleased]` ->
  `## [x.y.z] - DATE` graduation, and a tag on the exact commit that gets
  published — and no single tool did both the graduation and the `package.json`
  bump.
 - Split by strength: `pubv` (tiny, changelog-driven) owns preflight, the
  interactive major/minor/patch heuristic, and graduating and committing
  `CHANGELOG.md` (no tag, no push); `npm version` syncs `package.json` + the
  lockfile; `--amend` folds them into one commit; the tag is created _after_ the
  amend so it is never orphaned.
 - The notes are finalized _before_ pubv because its bump heuristic reads the
  `[Unreleased]` body — editing afterwards would inform the changelog only, not
  the version. The staging commit that satisfies pubv's clean-tree check is
  folded back into the single release commit.
 #### Rejected
 - The conventional-commits family: the history is gitmoji, not Conventional, and
  the notes are hand-written (see
  [workflow.md § Commit messages](./workflow.md#commit-messages)).
 - `changesets` / `rtk`: config plus a heavier flow that fights the CI-only
  publish.
 - `knope` / `kacl` / `bestikk`: changelog-only (no `package.json` bump) and
  5-year / 2-year / brand-new maintenance.
 - `pubv` alone: it never writes `package.json`.
 - `versions` (silverwind): good Gitea support, but pairing it with a hand-rolled
  promote became a ~180-line script, which this ~30-line version replaces.
 ## The version has one source of truth
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 The version is derived from the graduated `## [x.y.z]` heading in
 [CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md) and written to `package.json` +
 `package-lock.json` by `npm version`.
 #### Why
 - `release.sh` reads the version from the changelog, so the changelog is the
  input and `package.json` the derived copy — one direction, no drift.
 #### Rejected
 - A `## Version` line in the README: it makes `release.sh` responsible for a
  third file.
 - Linking `package.json` from the README: it invites a hand-maintained duplicate
  the link does not keep in sync.
 ## Release notes are extracted from the changelog
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `scripts/release-notes.sh <tag>` prints the Keep-a-Changelog section for the tag
 and exits non-zero when it is missing.
 #### Why
 - CI reuses the release body from the same file that drove the version, so the
  page and the changelog cannot disagree.
 - Failing on a missing section means a release can never publish an empty body.
  A leading `v` is tolerated so both `v1.2.3` and `1.2.3` match `## [1.2.3]`.
 ## Token gates
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 The Gitea release page uses the run's automatic token (`github.token`).
 `npm publish` is gated on `NPM_TOKEN`, lifted into job-level `env`. A final
 `always()` step fails the job unless both halves reported `success`.
 #### Why
 - The automatic token needs only `contents: write`, so the release page needs no
  secret gate.
 - `secrets` is not allowed in a step `if`, so `NPM_TOKEN` must be lifted into
  job-level `env`; an unset secret then skips the publish instead of attempting
  an unauthenticated one.
 - A tag is all-or-nothing: without the `always()` guard a skipped or failed npm
  half would leave the job silently green. The guard turns it red.
 Set `NPM_TOKEN` (npm publish rights) under Settings -> Actions -> Secrets.

 # Testing
 For this library the types _are_ the feature, so a runtime-only test loop would
 verify the wrong thing. The commands are in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md); this file records why the loop is shaped
 the way it is.
 ## Type-driven development
 The rules — the loop and the pairing rule — are in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Testing discipline (type-driven)](../CONTRIBUTING.md#testing-discipline-type-driven).
 What follows is why and what was rejected.
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 The compile-time expectation is written before the runtime assertion, and both
 before the implementation.
 #### Why
 - A runtime-only test can pass while the type is wrong, so a type-level library
  would ship a broken feature its tests bless.
 - The type error is a more precise spec than a failing assertion, because it
  states the exact expected type before the logic exists.
 #### Rejected
 - Runtime-first (classic red/green): it verifies the value, not the contract,
  and the contract is the product.
 - Testing the type only: it would not catch handler dispatch or the `_`
  fallback (see `src/primitive-union.test.ts`).
 The runner is `node --test --strip-types "src/**/*.test.ts"` and the tiers are
 in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Development commands](../CONTRIBUTING.md#development-commands).
 `c8` uses V8 coverage, so the `--strip-types` source is instrumented without a
 build step, and the runner relies on the `.ts` import-extension convention (see
 [tooling.md](./tooling.md#source-imports-use-ts-extensions)).
 ## Handler arguments
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 A handler's `expectTypeOf(shape)` is always paired with an assertion on the
 argument `dispatch` actually passed: `assert.equal` where the handler runs for
 one shape, `assert.ok(s === … || s === …)` over the set a `_` fallback accepts
 (`assert` is imported as `strict`, so each comparison is `Object.is`). Where a
 test should also prove that the _exact_ value reached the handler unchanged,
 the fallback returns the shape verbatim and the call site asserts it.
 #### Why
 - The parameter's type is what the compiler inferred from the pattern; the
  argument is what the runtime passed. Only the second can drift, and the keys
  whose property name differs from their value (`true`, `null`, `1`) are
  exactly where it can — see [library.md](./library.md).
 - `String(shape)` at the call site keeps every type expectation and every
  return-value assertion green; the argument assertions fail (10 of the 33
  tests). Without them the suite never looks at the passed argument.
 - Returning the shape verbatim costs a widening pattern nothing: the remainder
  type joins the union of handler returns in place of a marker literal, so the
  test still shows the widening it is named for.
 #### Rejected
 - A recorded `unknown[]` of every fallback call compared with `deepEqual`:
  strong, but it couples the assertion to call order, and the sink sits three
  blocks away from the value it observes.
 - `typeof` checks: they cannot separate `2` from its key text `"2"`, which is
  the drift a fallback with a numeric remainder can hit.
 - One expected value asserted inline in a fallback: its argument is a _set_ of
  shapes, so only the disjunction holds on every call.
 ## AAA ordering
 The rule is in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Testing discipline (type-driven)](../CONTRIBUTING.md#testing-discipline-type-driven).
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Test bodies read arrange → act → assert: inputs (the factory) set up first, the
 subject exercised once from them, all checks last — types then runtime. The
 blocks are labeled with `// Arrange` / `// Act` / `// Assert` comments and
 separated by a blank line; an empty block drops its label.
 #### Why
 - Interleaved setup/checks hide what runs vs. what is observed; the eye
  re-reads the block to find the seams.
 - A factory built mid-test invites a second throwaway call of the subject;
  arranging it once makes the positive construction and the negative
  `Parameters<…>` check share one source of truth.
 - Labels make the seams explicit, not inferred — grep-able and reviewable
  without reading the statements.
 #### Rejected
 - Unlabeled ordering (bare blank lines): the seams still have to be found by
  reading; the labels cost nothing.
 ## Test helpers
 The rule is enforced by `import/no-relative-parent-imports`; this section records
 why the mechanism is shaped like this.
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 A shared test helper — code that scattered `*.test.ts` files import to do their
 testing — lives under `src/util/__tests__/` and is addressed by the
 `#test-utils/…` self-reference (`package.json#imports`:
 `"#test-utils/*": "./src/util/__tests__/*"`), never by a relative path:
 ```ts
 import { LspSession } from "#test-utils/lsp-completion.ts";
 ```
 #### Why
 - The lint rule bans upward (`../`) imports, and a cross-cutting helper can
  always be placed above _some_ scattered consumer, wherever it goes. Name
  beats path: a `#test-utils/…` specifier has no direction, so the rule never
  fires and file moves only touch the one mapping in `package.json`.
 - `#…` is Node's reserved prefix for _private_ subpath imports: publishing
  `package.json` leaks nothing and resolves nothing for consumers.
 - `__tests__` as the folder name is not about tests living there; it is the
  directory pattern `tsconfig.build.json` already excludes, so a helper can
  never be emitted into `dist/` and shipped by accident.
 - Node's own resolver handles `#…` under `--strip-types`, and `tsc` resolves it
  via the same `imports` field — one mechanism for runtime and type gate, no
  loader needed.
 - The helper uses `node:` builtins (it drives a language server), so
  `import/no-nodejs-modules` is off for `src/util/__tests__/**` in
  `.oxlintrc.json` — the same exception the `scripts/**` scope carries.
 - Helpers carry no library coupling: their tests probe in-memory documents
  whose contextual types are written inline, so only the helper's own contract
  (marker handling, position, label extraction) is under test. A test that
  asserts a _matcher's_ popup belongs with the matcher.
 #### Rejected
 - A helper beside the tests (`src/util/test.ts`, flat `src/`): composes only
  while `src/` stays flat; the first nested test reaching it reintroduces the
  banned upward import.
 - Bare `~/…` specifier: not valid in `imports` (keys must start with `#`) —
  resolution fails at runtime with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`. A `#~/…` “home”
  shorthand was dropped in review; `#test-utils/…` states what it is.
 - tsconfig `paths` alias: resolves for `tsc` but not for plain
  `node --test --strip-types` (no loader hook), breaking the fast tier.
 - Turning `import/no-relative-parent-imports` off for test files: the rule
  still guards non-test helpers importing each other, and the exemption is
  only needed for the one specifier the mapping already solves cleanly.
 ## Autocomplete
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Completion is verified by driving the repo's own language server
 (`tsc --lsp --stdio`, the same server pi's LSP extension talks to) through
 the test helper `#test-utils/lsp-completion.ts`
 (`src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.ts`), not through the type system:
 ```sh
 node --strip-types src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.ts <file> [<marker>]
 ```
 The script prints the labels the server offers at a `/*COMPLETE*/` marker inside
 `<file>` (the marker is stripped before the document is sent). Its `LspSession`
 is imported by `src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.test.ts` — which tests the
 helper itself against inline documents, never the library's code — and by
 `src/primitive-union.test.ts`, where the same probe asserts the matcher's popup;
 the CLI is for manual inspection.
 #### Why
 - Completion is a contextual-type property: it depends on which overload
  signature TypeScript picks for the object literal, and no type-level assertion
  observes that.
 - `Parameters<typeof factory>[0]` resolves only the _last_ overload, so it is
  not the popup's contextual type either — see
  [library.md § Matcher shape](./library.md#matcher-shape).
 - The server is the only ground truth; the script reproduces what the editor
  shows.
 #### Rejected
 - **`expect-type` would not work**: there is no operator for “the popup offers
  these labels”. `toExtend` / `toEqualTypeOf` test assignability and cannot say
  which overload supplied the contextual type.
 - **Checking by hand in the editor**: not reproducible in review or by an agent.
 - **`@ts-expect-error` at a completion position**: it asserts the absence of a
  compile error, not the presence of specific labels.
 #### Known issue
 - Each test spawns its own `tsc` server so the tests share no state and pass in
  any order; the file is an integration test (~1.6 s) that needs `node_modules`.
  `didOpen` is handled in order before the completion request, so no settle
  delay is needed.
 - The server answers some requests with a string id (`client/registerCapability`);
  the client must tolerate `string | number` ids or the server stalls.
 ## Known issues
 - The type-aware linter misidentifies `expectTypeOf()` as a floating promise.
  It is a known false positive, so `typescript/no-floating-promises` is off for
  `**/*.test.ts` in the `.oxlintrc.json` override rather than repeated as a
  file-level header (see
  [tooling.md § oxlint-disable directives live next to the code](./tooling.md#oxlint-disable-directives-live-next-to-the-code)).

 # Tooling
 Every tool below was chosen and configured deliberately. The commands a
 contributor runs are in [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and the versions
 in [package.json](../package.json).
 ## Tool inventory
 - **TypeScript 7** — type checker and build (`tsc`).
 - **node --test** + `--strip-types` — test runner.
 - **c8** — coverage for `test:ci`.
 - **oxlint** — Rust linter, type-aware via **oxlint-tsgolint** (typescript-go).
 - **oxfmt** — Rust formatter (Prettier-compatible) for JS/TS, JSON/JSONC, YAML,
  Markdown, MDX, and more; its `package.json` key sorting replaces
  `sort-package-json`.
 - **cspell** — spell checking.
 - **knip** — unused dependencies, exports, and files.
 - **check-outdated** — dependencies behind the registry; exits non-zero when any
  is outdated.
 - **publint** — validates `package.json` for ESM publishing.
 - **@arethetypeswrong/cli** (`attw`) — validates `.d.ts` against module-resolution
  scenarios.
 - **lefthook** — git hooks.
 - **@spences10/pi-lsp** — read-only LSP code intelligence for AI agents
  (project-local `.pi/settings.json`); talks to this repo's TypeScript 7 via
  `tsc --lsp --stdio`.
 - **vscode-languageserver-protocol** — LSP client and protocol types for the
  autocomplete test helper (`src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.ts`).
 When each runs is in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Feedback tiers](../CONTRIBUTING.md#feedback-tiers).
 ## TypeScript and build
 ### One type-check config, one emit config
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `tsconfig.json` extends `@tsconfig/strictest` + `@tsconfig/node26`.
 `tsconfig.build.json` adds the emit-only options (`declaration`, `sourceMap`,
 `inlineSources`, `outDir`, `target: es2024`,
 `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions: true`) and excludes test files.
 #### Why
 - The editor and CI type-check from one config while the build emits from the
  other, so a test file cannot leak into `dist/`.
 - `inlineSources` embeds the original TypeScript in `dist/*.js.map`, so
  debuggers map into `src/` without it being shipped.
 - `declarationMap` stays off: a `.d.ts.map` cannot embed source and would
  dangle.
 ### The build starts from an empty `dist/`
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `npm run build` runs a `prebuild` hook that empties `dist/`.
 #### Why
 - `tsc` does not prune orphaned emit output — dropping `declarationMap` left
  stale `*.d.ts.map` files — so reproducibility needs an empty `dist/`.
 - `prebuild` removes only `dist`; the manual `clean` resets `dist` + `coverage`,
  so a local coverage report survives a build.
 ### Source imports use `.ts` extensions
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Source imports use `.ts`, never `.js`.
 #### Why
 - `node --strip-types` resolves the `.ts` form at test time.
 - `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions` rewrites them to `.js` in the emitted
  JavaScript.
 - The emitted `.d.ts` keep the `.ts` specifier, which TypeScript >= 5.0 resolves
  (see [README § Requirements](../README.md#requirements)), so no
  post-processing step is needed.
 #### Rejected
 - "Pre-fixing" an import to `.js`: it breaks the inner `node --strip-types`
  loop.
 ## Linting and formatting
 ### Type-aware oxlint is a config property
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Type-aware oxlint is enabled via `options.typeAware: true` in `.oxlintrc.json`
 (powered by `oxlint-tsgolint`).
 #### Why
 - The script commands stay clean — no CLI flag.
 - A config property cannot be forgotten on one call site.
 #### Rejected
 - A CLI flag in the `check:oxlint` / `fix:oxlint` scripts: it puts the mode in
  two places and invites them to drift.
 ### `oxlint-disable` directives live next to the code
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 A type-aware rule that false-positives **at one site** is silenced with a
 source-level `oxlint-disable` directive (see `src/primitive-union.ts`). A rule that is
 wrong for a whole **file class** is turned off in a `.oxlintrc.json` `overrides`
 entry instead — e.g. `typescript/no-floating-promises` (synchronous
 `expectTypeOf` reads as an unhandled promise) and `unicorn/no-null` (intentional
 `null` inputs) for `**/*.test.ts`. The same exemption is not repeated as a
 file-level header in every affected file.
 #### Why
 - A one-site disable sits next to the code it silences, visible to anyone
  reading the source, and the rule stays on everywhere else.
 - A file-class rule is a property of the file class, not of one line; the
  override states it once, where the rest of the file-class config lives.
 #### Rejected
 - A project-wide disable in `.oxlintrc.json` for a one-site false positive: it
  hides the exemption from the reader of the affected code and switches the rule
  off repo-wide for a one-site problem.
 - A repeated file-level `oxlint-disable` header for a file-class false positive:
  the copies drift and scatter one config decision across the tree.
 #### Known issue
 - Both placements are _human_ last resorts. AI agents must neither add a source
  disable nor edit `.oxlintrc.json`; they fix the type at its root (see
  [AGENTS.md § Never do](../AGENTS.md#never-do)).
 ### Unwanted stylistic rules are turned off in the config
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 A stylistic rule the project rejects is `"off"` in the `.oxlintrc.json` `rules`
 map, not silenced at a use site. Current entries: `eslint/capitalized-comments`
 (comments may start lowercase) and `eslint/no-ternary` (ternaries are allowed),
 joining the oxfmt-superseded rules already off.
 #### Why
 - The rule is wrong for the whole project, not mis-firing at one site, so there
  is no line to annotate.
 - Keeping the two mechanisms separate keeps a source-level `oxlint-disable`
  meaningful: it marks a lone exception.
 #### Rejected
 - A source-level `oxlint-disable` per use: the same exemption repeated at every
  site, and oxfmt can move the site.
 ### `check:tsc` runs first
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `check:tsc` runs first in the `npm run check` chain.
 #### Why
 - A type error short-circuits the rest, which is faster than running
  oxlint/oxfmt and failing on `tsc` at the end.
 ### `.editorconfig` is a fallback, not a gate
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `.editorconfig` exists for editor compatibility; where both apply,
 `.oxfmtrc.json` is authoritative.
 #### Why
 - `.editorconfig` covers the files oxfmt does not format: shell scripts,
  dotfiles, `LICENSE`, the commit-message template, and git's `COMMIT_EDITMSG`
  buffer.
 - oxfmt is the formatter; the overlapping keys only keep non-oxfmt editors close
  to the formatted result, so they cannot disagree with the checker.
 ## Static analysis and packaging
 ### `knip` omits the `types` category
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `knip --include dependencies,exports,files` omits the `types` category.
 #### Why
 - `types` produces systematic false positives for libraries whose exported types
  are part of the public API.
 - The narrower scope keeps the signal high without config-file boilerplate.
 ### `maintain:outdated` ignores `@types/node`
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Pass `--ignore-packages @types/node`.
 #### Why
 - DT pins `@types/node`'s `latest` dist-tag to LTS (22.x); current-line types
  ride other tags. Scan sees latest < installed — permanent "reverted", exit
  1, zero signal. `--ignore-pre-releases` no help: 22.20.3 is stable.
 #### Rejected
 - `--types major,minor,patch`: hides real reverted reports elsewhere.
 - `@types/node@26.*`: tag stays wrong across majors; un-pin per bump = ritual.
 #### Known issue
 - A genuinely behind `@types/node` goes unreported; match it to
  `.node-version` by hand.
 ### `attw` targets ESM-only
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `attw --profile esm-only` is used.
 #### Why
 - The package is intentionally ESM-only (no CommonJS shim), so CJS resolution
  scenarios are out of scope by design, not a bug.
 ### `tslib` is deliberately not used
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `tslib` is not a dependency.
 #### Why
 - `tslib` is a runtime helper for old ES3/ES5 targets; this project targets
  ES2024.
 ## Git hooks and script wiring
 ### `LEFTHOOK_FILES` scopes commands to staged files
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 The pre-commit hook sets `LEFTHOOK_FILES` to the staged-files list, and the
 affected scripts use `${LEFTHOOK_FILES:-<default>}` to default to the whole
 project.
 #### Why
 - It keeps `package.json#scripts` the single source of truth; `lefthook.yml`
  only says what to run on which files.
 - The same script works by hand (whole project) and staged (scoped), so there is
  no second command to maintain.
 ## Language server tooling
 ### `vscode-languageserver-protocol` backs the autocomplete helper
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 The autocomplete helper (`src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.ts`) drives
 `tsc --lsp --stdio` through `vscode-languageserver-protocol`'s
 `createMessageConnection` and its typed request / notification objects, instead
 of a hand-rolled JSON-RPC client.
 #### Why
 - Framing, `Content-Length` parsing, the pending-request map and server-request
  dispatch are protocol plumbing the helper only reimplemented; the official
  client owns them and tolerates the server's `string | number` ids.
 - `InitializeRequest`, `CompletionRequest`, `DidOpenTextDocumentNotification`,
  … carry their parameter and result types, so `CompletionList` / `CompletionItem`
  replace the helper's ad-hoc shape guards.
 - The `./node` entry re-exports `vscode-jsonrpc/node`, so one devDependency
  supplies both the transport and the protocol types. It is test-only and never
  ships (`files` publishes `dist/` only).
 #### Rejected
 - `vscode-languageclient`: the editor-side client with a full feature registry
  — far more than a test helper needs.
 - Generic JSON-RPC (`jsonrpc-lite`, `jayson`): still no LSP types, so they
  replace framing only and leave the typed protocol surface unimplemented.
 - Keeping the hand-rolled client: the low-level shape is the maintenance cost
  the helper exists to remove, and it must be re-audited against the server.
 ## Editor and agent tooling
 ### VSCode integration
 - Recommended extensions are in
  [.vscode/extensions.json](../.vscode/extensions.json) (oxc, cspell, TypeScript
  native-preview, EditorConfig, todo-tasks).
 - TypeScript 7 runs via the `typescriptteam.native-preview` extension.
 - The oxc extension provides oxlint squiggles and oxfmt format-on-save;
  `.vscode/settings.json` pins it per language so a local `[language]` formatter
  setting cannot override the project's choice.
 ### `@spences10/pi-lsp` is pinned and read-only
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `@spences10/pi-lsp` is pinned to `0.0.46` and used read-only.
 #### Why
 - It inspects `node_modules/typescript`, sees major >= 7 with no
  `lib/tsserver.js` (true of the `typescript-go` / `tsgo` port), and spawns the
  repo's own `tsc --lsp --stdio` — no `typescript-language-server` dependency is
  needed.
 - Earlier releases (`<= 0.0.10`) hard-wire to `typescript-language-server
 --stdio` and are TS6-only.
 - It is _intermediate_ agent feedback (hover, references, definition, symbols,
  diagnostics), with no rename / code-action / apply-edit surface, and is never a
  gate — `npm run check` / `verify` are.
 - `.pi/settings.json` is the committed declaration; `.pi/npm/` is a gitignored
  install cache that pi recreates on a trusted startup (running `npm install`
  for any missing project package), so it is deliberately not tracked.

 # Workflow
 How work moves through the repository. The rules are in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md); this file records why they are shaped the
 way they are.
 ## Branching model
 The model is GitHub Flow (single-developer); the steps are in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Branching model](../CONTRIBUTING.md#branching-model). Context
 behind it: Gitea has no collaborative review UI in use, so it is the lab, and
 the project moves to GitHub once it is tested and ready.
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Work is opened and closed by `create:branch` / `create:finish`, not by prose
 plus hand-written `git`.
 #### Why
 - The preconditions were prose, and prose rots: a rule nobody checks is a
  suggestion. A script asserts, then acts, so the branch or merge only exists if
  the assertions passed.
 - Type-driven work is only trustworthy if the baseline was green before the
  first edit. Cheap checks run first and `npm run test` last, so the expensive
  gate is not paid on an ineligible tree.
 - The merge half owns the post-merge `npm run verify`, so a merge cannot land
  unverified. The push stays with `create:release` so the merge is reviewed
  locally first; `main` is therefore routinely ahead of its upstream between a
  merge and the release that ships it. `create:branch` requires only that `main`
  is not _behind_ — matching `create:finish`, which tolerates the local merge and
  fast-forwards over a remote one — rather than an exact match.
 - Every failure is non-mutating except the baseline test, which runs on `main`
  after switching there: a red `main` restores the branch you started on, and a
  merge conflict aborts back to the feature branch rather than stranding a
  half-merged `main`.
 #### Rejected
 - Hand-written `git switch -c` / `git merge`: same rules, no enforcement.
 - Reusing `pubv`'s preflight for `create:branch`: release-shaped, third-party,
  and it would pay for a build and pack a new branch has no use for.
 - Leaving the merge to reviewer judgment: that judgment moved earlier, to the
  handover review before `create:finish`, rather than living in a command anyone
  can run from a dirty tree.
 - Fast-forward instead of `--no-ff`: `--no-ff` keeps each unit of work visible
  in `git log`.
 - Pushing from `create:finish` to keep `main` level with its upstream: it would
  trade the local review the push waits for for a network side effect, and a
  failed push would leave the merge landed but unpublished.
 ## Changelog notes
 The rule is in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Rules the tools don't enforce](../CONTRIBUTING.md#rules-the-tools-dont-enforce).
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 A merged branch carries its own summary under `[Unreleased]` in
 [CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md), added before `create:finish`;
 `create:release` graduates it into the tagged section (see
 [publishing.md](./publishing.md)).
 #### Why
 - `create:release` derives the bump heuristic from the `[Unreleased]` body, so
  the notes must exist before release day.
 - The contributor has fresh context; at release day the intent of a branch is
  only its diff.
 - Gitmoji subjects are signposts, not semantic keys, so notes cannot be derived
  from the history.
 #### Rejected
 - Generating notes from subjects at release time: subjects carry no parseable
  type/scope (see § Commit messages).
 - The maintainer writing one summary during `create:release`: reconstruction
  after the fact.
 - Enforcing it in `create:finish`: the front doors assert git state, not
  content — and _notable_ is exactly the judgment a tool cannot make.
 ## Script prefix convention
 The prefix taxonomy is the rule, and it lives in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Script prefix convention](../CONTRIBUTING.md#script-prefix-convention).
 The design behind it: bare scripts are the tier entry points — a single tool
 (`build`, `clean`) or an aggregator of a `prefix:*` family (`check`, `fix`,
 `test`, `watch`, `maintain`, `setup`) — while `verify` composes `check` +
 `test:unit` into the whole-project gate (it uses `test:unit`, not `test`,
 because `check` already runs `check:tsc`).
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 `create:` is the prefix for workflow front doors, with no bare `create`
 aggregator.
 #### Why
 - Both members create something real: a branch, a release.
 - It joined both lists in [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md) alongside its
  first members, so it could not go invisible the way the retired `use:` prefix
  did.
 - `publish:*` already set the precedent for a prefix without an aggregator.
 #### Rejected
 - `run:` / `perform:`: they mean only "do the named thing", so every script fits
  and the taxonomy collapses.
 - `git:`: names the tool, not the lifecycle moment, and implies passthrough
  aliases.
 - `start:`: describes the branch half, not the release.
 - `cut:`: idiomatic but needs VCS slang to decode.
 - `flow:`: overloaded in a type-level matching library.
 - The existing families: `check:*` is read-only (CI would run a state-mutating
  command), `fix:*` reviews as a diff not a branch, `maintain:*` is advisory and
  never a gate.
 ## Feedback tiers
 The table and invocation rules are in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Feedback tiers](../CONTRIBUTING.md#feedback-tiers); this
 section explains the split.
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Fast, offline, staged-file checks sit in pre-commit; whole-project test runs in
 pre-push and `verify`; slow or network-bound scans under `maintain`.
 #### Why
 - `watch:*` runs until killed, in its own pane, so it is the earliest tier,
  firing on save before staging or commit.
 - `check:tsc` / `check:oxlint` / `check:oxfmt` / `check:cspell` are fast
  (~0.2–0.5s each), offline, and scope to staged files via `LEFTHOOK_FILES`, so
  pre-commit gives instant feedback on what you typed.
 - `test` (and its `tsc`) runs the whole suite over the whole project, and the
  staged-file convention does not apply to the test runner, so it belongs in
  pre-push, after the commits exist but before the push leaves the machine.
 #### Rejected
 - `maintain:*` in `check` or pre-commit: advisory, whole-project and
  network-bound scans are not correctness gates and would slow the fast tier.
 - Treating a green pre-commit as the definition of done: it sees only staged
  files, hence `npm run verify`.
 - A separate `git push` hook for `verify`: the pre-push test tier already covers
  it.
 ## Commit messages
 The convention is in
 [CONTRIBUTING.md § Commit messages](../CONTRIBUTING.md#commit-messages).
 Examples: `:sparkles: Add watch tier with watch:test child`,
 `:recycle: Move type-aware config to .oxlintrc.json; use source-level disable
 directives`, `:memo: Restore unique maintainer content as CONTRIBUTING.md`. The
 body explains what and why, not how; link issues with `Resolves #...`.
 #### Decision (2026-09)
 Gitmoji subjects, imperative mood, wrapped 50/72, not Conventional Commits.
 #### Why
 - The history is gitmoji and predates any commit-lint tooling; switching would
  rewrite the convention for no gain.
 - The body carries the reasoning a reviewer needs; the subject is a signpost,
  not a semantic key.
 #### Rejected
 - Conventional Commits: the release flow uses hand-written Keep-a-Changelog
  notes, not generated ones, so the prefix has no automation value here (see
  [publishing.md](./publishing.md)).

 # it downloads the ~50 MB distribution on EVERY job (the runner's job
 # containers are ephemeral, so its tool cache never survives a job). The
 # official node images keep exactly the layout setup-node expects under
 # /usr/local, so this layer is a pure file overlay — no scripts, no env.
 #
 # Why not a host bind of /opt/hostedtoolcache: binds never self-prune. Docker
 # images are content-addressed: the base layers dedupe against the act image
 # the host already has, and `docker image prune` / re-pulls are the cleanup
 # story.
 #
 # NODE_VERSION must match `.node-version` exactly. setup-node resolves a float
 # like `26` to the latest known patch at runtime, so a bump silently busts the
 # baked entry; `.node-version` is pinned to x.y.z and scripts/runner-image.sh
 # guards the coupling. Rebuild + repoint `container.image` in
 # .gitea/workflows/ci.yml on every bump.
 #
 # The extra `nodebase` stage is load-bearing: `COPY --from=` resolves its value
 # as a *stage name* at parse time, before build args exist, so
 # `COPY --from=node:${NODE_VERSION}` collapses to the invalid `node:` on
 # frontends that do not expand args there. ARGs declared before the first FROM
 # *are* expanded in FROM, so routing through a named stage works everywhere.
 # Global scope: only visible to FROM lines, but that is exactly where we need it.

 FROM node:${NODE_VERSION} AS nodebase
 FROM catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest
 # ARGs do not cross stage boundaries; redeclare (with the same default, so a

 # only appears if the assertions passed. Cheap checks run first, `npm run test`
 # runs last: the expensive gate is not paid on a tree that was never eligible.
 #
-# Why the front door exists, the rejected prefix names, and the `create:`
+# Rejected for the prefix name: `run:` / `perform:` (both mean only "do the
-# decision: development/workflow.md § Branching model and § Script prefix
+# thing named after them", so every script in the repo would fit under them and
-# convention.
+# the taxonomy collapses); `git:` (names the tool, not the lifecycle moment, and
 # advertises passthrough aliases); `start:` (describes this half, not the
 # release); `cut:` (idiomatic for both, but it needs VCS slang to decode, and a
 # signpost that has to be explained is not one); `flow:` (overloaded in a library
 # about type-level matching); and the existing families — `check:*` is read-only
 # and aggregated by `check`, so CI would run a command that mutates repo state;
 # `fix:*`'s review surface is a file diff, not a branch; `maintain:*` is advisory
 # and explicitly never a gate.
 #
 # `create:` was kept because both members really do create something: a branch,
 # a release. It was added to both prefix lists in CONTRIBUTING.md in the same
 # commit as its first members, because a prefix missing from those lists is
 # invisible — which was the `use:` mistake this repo carried in backlog.tasks (since retired into `setup:`).
 # There is deliberately no bare `create` aggregator: "run all the workflows"
 # describes nothing anyone wants, and `publish:*` already sets the precedent for
 # a prefix without one.
 #
 # Also rejected: a full git-flow CLI wrapping the merge too (merging ends in
 # "review the diff yourself", which is judgment, and only the start half carries
 # a verification burden); and reusing `pubv`'s preflight (release-shaped,
 # third-party, and it would make branch start pay a build + pack it has no use
 # for).

 /**
 * Print the completion labels TypeScript's language server offers at a marker

 *
 * Usage: node --strip-types src/util/__tests__/lsp-completion.ts <file> [<marker>]
 *
 * The marker (default `DEFAULT_MARKER`, a `COMPLETE` block comment) is stripped
 * from the source before it is sent; the request position is where the marker
 * stood. Point it at a scratch file whose expected type is a matcher pattern to
 * inspect the popup.
 *
 * `LspSession` exposes the same probe to the test suite, so completion is
 * asserted against the server rather than the type system.
 *
 * Why a script and not a type assertion: completion is a contextual-type
 * property that `expect-type` cannot observe, and `Parameters<…>` resolves only
 * a single overload. The server is the only ground truth. See
 * development/testing.md § Autocomplete.
